All Draped Bust, large-eagle reverse quarters are scarce. The key date in this short series is the 1804, with a mintage of just 6,738 coins with an fewer than 400 survivors estimated. The 1805, 1806, and 1807 Draped Bust quarters have mintages in the low six figures, but today only a couple thousand or so of each exist. Variety enthusiasts refer to the Browning (B#) reference.
Obverse Description
Liberty is portrayed with a so-called "draped bust," facing right, with her hair tied back with a ribbon. She is flanked by stars on the left and right periphery with the word LIBERTY on top, and the date positioned at the bottom.
